Recently, I decided to take the TOEFL exam. TOEFL is really useful if you want to get a position in a foreign company or if you want to study abroad. So I googled where I have to register: www.ets.org.
To sign up for the test you have to register at the web page at first place. So I tried to do it. I intentionally use a verb 'try' here because I failed. Why? The reason is a little strange architecture of the site. It doesn't allow anyone to have multiple user accounts. If you had registered some time ago you have to remember your login information! Write it down! They are not mailing any login information! Although the architecture of the web page seem really strange and inapt, there's a reason why ETS needs a web page with limited registration. The delay between two subsequent TOEFL exams is limited.
If you had registred and you don't remember you login information, the site provides some assistance to retrieve login information. Unfortunately, I found all these assistance procedures completely useless. I wasn't even able to figure out my user name. And, due to some lower/uppercase issues, I also failed to provide correct answer for the control question. After few wrong tries the site was blocking all other tries.
In case you have troubles, you can call a help desk. But it's an american phone number. I'm not really eager to call to the US! So my last chance was an e-mail. Fortunatelly, several emails and days later, ETS representatives sent me a new password and my forgotten user name. Really, write it down!
